HEAVY METALS TEST - HAIR/NAILS

Product detailed description

Sample Type Selection

The patient may choose between a hair sample (including pubic hair or beard hair) or nail clippings. Both sample types provide information on long-term exposure and are considered equivalent for testing purposes.

Hair is recommended as the standard option. Nails are a suitable alternative especially in cases of chemically treated hair, absence of hair, or specific occupational limitations.

⚠️ Hair and nails cannot be combined within one test. Only one sample type must be selected.
